Time out.


Hello there! I have been sufferring from an eye infection this week, so I have not really felt like squinting at a screen.  It was my 'camera' eye too, so taking photographs was not really top of my list.  Which was a shame, actually, because my darling husband gave me a much wanted zoomier lens (55 - 200) for my camera as a birthday gift. Never mind, I am feeling much better and hopefully the weather will clear up next week, and I will amaze you all with my artful close ups.  We are heading off to a family wedding down in England later in the week, so that will give me lots of photo opportunities too.
Anyway, despite spending a lot of time with hot compresses on my eye, we managed to keep going.
Here are some of the things we got up to.

Wheel painting with trains and cars.



Watching the sparrow cafe.


Going for a very cold and dreich walk in Polkemmet Country Park.



Making coconut cupcakes for Kristine to take to work for a Children in Need fundraiser.


And a wee run to Crieff at the end of the week.  It was too rainy there to take photographs, so I snapped this one of Stirling Castle from the car on the way back.  John was driving though.

Shadow Shot Sunday - Birds in the garden

Hens and sparrows enjoying an evening drink in our garden.





I love how the sparrows cling on to the kniphofia and sip from the flowers. They could almost be Scottish Hummingbirds.

See more great shadows at Shadow Shot Sunday on Hey Harriet.
